Cuba's Sacred Sites
Cuba’s religious landscape is reflected in its diverse architecture, ranging from grand 18th-century cathedrals in Havana and Santiago to rural evangelical temples. This collection includes the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre, the island's most sacred pilgrimage site, and the Neo-Gothic Iglesia del Santo Ángel Custodio, where José Martí was baptized.
